Idol Top 7 Results

  Kristy Lee is wearing a sparkly tank top and jeans, although it is a slightly cuter version. I’m shocked. Her hair does always look good though.

 The vocals aren’t coming over the music very well on the group song. What on earth did Syesha do to her hair?

 Did Brooke borrow her shirt from Kristy?

 Carly’s hair looks stupid, and another drab outfit. I was thinking maybe the outfits were themed, but David A. doesn’t match everyone else, so I guess not.

 Mariah Carrey just said that she wants everyone to win in some way. I think she’s been spending too much time with Paula.

 Jason hasn’t been to the beach much but he really likes it. (Was he homeschooled?) You’ve been in California for two months, why haven’t you gone to the beach?

 Jason and David C. are in separate groups. That doesn’t sound good.

 Oh, Carly, stop whining. Simon is hard on you because you’re not that good. She joins Jason. Kristy joins David. This is interesting.

 This is a creepy Ford video. The slicked hair on the guys especially.  

 I’ve never been much of an Elliot Yamin fan. His look has improved a lot. The hair over the ears and his teeth are fixed. I like the velvet blazer a lot, but I would’ve put the scarf on top. It blends in with his shirt. Oh, another secret hand message. That’s sad; I kind of remember seeing his mom on an interview.

 Let’s take a moment to ponder Paula’s outfit. What is that strangling her? The fabric of the dress is actually a nice color, but black band looks ridiculous, and she looks pretty squeezed in once again.

 Maybe Brooke is a veggie burger. She seems like she’s getting really worn out the last few weeks. Syesha with Carly and Jason. Brooke with David and Kristy. 

 I always wondered if Kristy got the horse back. First records: Randy: Led Zeppelin, Beatles, and James Brown. Paula: Earth, Wind and Fire. Simon: Straight Up. Paula seems a little confused about Megan from her show. What is the difference between hamburger, theme park, and karaoke performances? They are all horrible.

 Do we have to watch Mariah Carrey perform again? Her hands drive me nuts, I won’t even comment on that outfit, and what’s with the blingy mic? I hope all those fans blowing her hair around won’t blow her outfit off. No one else gets to have fans. She may be an amazing singer, but she sure is a boring performer. Maybe it’s just that she can’t move in the outfit. I’d like to say Bye Bye to Mariah right now.

 David is going to have to pick which group he’s in. No, he’s just the first to find out that he is safe. Now we’re switching Syesha. Oh, he does have to pick. David and Jason are safe, that’s good, but Brooke is in the bottom.

 Kristy is finally going home. Maybe that guy will let her buy her horse back. She’s at least giving a good last performance.

Idol Top 7

I'm giving scores on a scale of 1-10 tonight, on look, which includes outfit, hair and makeup, and on the song.

Ryan- Look: 2/10

Paula- Look: -10/10

Simon-Look: gray sweater

Randy-Look: 4/10

Syesha- Look: 2/10. Song: 3/10

David A.-Look: 5/10. Song: 2/10.

David C.- Look: 4/10. Song: 9/10.

Brooke-Look: 2/10. Song: 8/10

Kristy Lee-Look: 2/10. Song 2/10.

Jason-Look: 4/10. Song: 6/10.

Carly-Look: 6/10. Song: 3/10.

I don’t think I can even pick a best outfit tonight.

 The sparkles in Syesha’s hair look like there’s still some shampoo bubbles in there. Did she forget to rinse? I like the makeup tonight, and the earrings. I’m not big on the gold lame dress. It kind of makes her look like a chocolate in a gold foil rapper. It was a typical Syesha performance. Boring, lots of runs, slow.

 Paula’s dress makes me think of purple chapstick. Like fake grape flavor. Her comments ofnSyesha: Tonight was unbelievably magical, and you look great.

 Is Ryan’s suit plaid? Yes, we all know that Randy worked on many of these songs.

 Brooke’s hair looks great tonight. I love the earrings, but the dress is a little sparkly for me, and I don’t like the shape. Brooke does much better when playing an instrument. This is her best performance in weeks. Oh, her hair is falling in her mouth. That’s the most annoying thing. I love how she plays barefoot. I would say it was missing the mayo.

 “Every ounce of you is totally authentic to who you are.” More classic Paula.

 Mariah Carrey is doing the right thing with the high-waisted pants. I don’t like the shirt though.

 Would someone hurry up and kick Kristy Lee out by now please! Hmm…a brown tank top and jeans on Kristy. Surprise, surprise! Did she and Syesha plan the matching dresses? Kristy didn’t country this up enough. Does Mariah Carrey have any songs that aren’t ballads?

 Randy: Pitchy. Paula: I’m blown away, I’m so proud of you, I’m still babbling. Simon: Mariah Carrey is not your thing.

 David Cook-much better than last week, not quite his best, but still great. I liked the vest a lot better until I saw the plaid back. Randy loved it, he’s standing up. Paula will be up any second. I don’t think a movie soundtrack is a compliment. Simon likes that phrase: a breath of fresh air. Now Paula’s standing.

Did Jason decide to become a lumberjack? Could we not have one Jason performance with the dreads down? He’s doing funny stuff with his feet as he sings. Nothing outstanding for me. His voice stood out more than sometimes.

 I missed David A. and Carly so I’ll just comment on the clip at the end.

 The Prince of Egypt song is so David Archuleta. I'm pretty sure I memorized this song when I was little. We had the VHS tape of the movie, and either the soundtrack, or the CD of songs inspired by the movie.

 Carly still in dark colors, I like seeing a dress and some heels instead of jeans though. The song was pretty boring for me.

Michael Goes Home

 Forest Whittaker calls the kids tragic. I’m pretty sure it’s their circumstances that are tragic, not the kids themselves.

Duets are so cheesy. I’d never even heard of Chris Brown until about a week ago. The acting is ridiculous. That guy behind them has the fro. The song was actually okay, for that style of music.

Good, Syesha, Carly, and Michael are the bottom three.

I don’t think Hilary Clinton can become president unless she gets a better haircut.

I’m not even sure what to say about Paula’s shirt. Simon’s is sort of classic Simon. Randy’s is a little flowery for a men’s shirt.

Carly and Syesha are safe….and so is Michael, because it’s Idol Gives Back week, and no one is going home. Oh, they really are kicking him out. I’m a little surprised. He’s been better the last few weeks. Oh well, at least he can always go back to Australia and win Australian Idol. He’s giving a good farewell performance.

Idol Gives Back

I don’t like the intro this season. I liked that big green stage that looked like a peacock tail.

Is this a new Paula Abdul number? Oh, good it’s just some of the cast from So You Think You Can Dance. They are very impressive dancers. I don’t know about the hot pink spandex tights though. I recognize this song but I don’t know what it is.

I like Syesha’s peacock earrings, but my drama teacher would have a fit if she saw her wearing them in a theater. There’s a theater superstition that peacock feathers are bad luck, and the only time my teacher was ever in a play with them, she broke her back doing a stunt.

Oh my, is Brooke wearing some horrible imitation of overalls?

Nice Exxon Mobil logo at the bottom of the screen. Nothing like a little extra advertising.

Clearly Ryan ignored the producers’ warnings against dancing on stage.

Who’s ever heard of Jimmy Johnson? Obviously a fake name.

I personally think Maria Shriver should hyphenate her name. Wouldn’t Shriver-Schwarzenegger be a cool last name?  And doesn’t she have some good stuff to say: Let’s all start believing in hopi prayers, whatever those are, and then we can all be American Idols in someone’s life.

Ben Stiller kind of freaks me out.  

Now some hip hop. I’m not even sure which one of these guys is Snoop Dog, if that tells you anything about how much I listen to hip-hop. Nice mic bling. Some of these kids think they’re really cool, don’t they? That one in the middle is putting some funky style into it.

I didn’t realize Paula was dressed as a rooster tonight.

This whole Carrie Underwood thing doesn’t seem staged or anything. Teri Hatcher singing Carrie Underwood should be interesting though. I have to say this is sort of a stiff performance. Is this the whole cast of Desperate Housewives? I like Carrie’s shirt.

Oh, Mary Murphy, please don’t scream. Too late.

Oh, the Jonas Brothers. Maybe they’re here to invite David Archuleta into the band.

I like the blouse on Miley, but is she wearing a black jacket, and brown boots? I think they need more material to fill up 2 and a half hours, because this little scripted exchange between Billy and Miley is dragging on. Oh good, the boots are actually red. The lights are making it hard to tell the difference.

Fergie looks uncomfortable in her leather pants. I’m so sick of this long layered swoopy curled hair style with the stupid bangs. John Legend looks vaguely familiar, but I have no idea who he is.

I have a feeling Heart is an eighties band my parents liked. I like their hair. Fergie’s pants look even sillier without the jacket and skirt. She’s just creeping me out now. The cartwheels are kind of showing off, but still impressive.

Please tell me Celine Dion isn’t going to perform. She’s much more entertaining when she’s playing with kids in Africa.

Jimmy Kimmel is making some nice comments about Simon.

Does Irene’s disease affect her eyebrows, or did she do that on purpose? And who names their kid Macho? Not that I don’t feel bad for them and stuff.

 Simon has pulled his one button up out of the closet for this special occasion. Maybe he could give back to us by buttoning it up.

I have to say I’d rather hear Carrie sing her songs than Teri Hatcher. I’m not really a huge fan though. Country isn’t my thing. She looks good tonight, and I really like her dress, except the color is a little too close to skin tone.

Has anyone else ever noticed that Whoopi Goldberg doesn’t have eyebrows?

Gloria Estefan should get better hair. I need to vent a little about ballroom dance costumes. Are they always in neon colors to make the fake tans stand out even more? And why do they show so much skin? Hmmm…You’d think the drummer would’ve checked to make sure her drums weren’t going to fall apart before she went on stage.

 Did Carly just say Indi-ah-na?

Reese Weatherspoon’s dress is ugly. I can’t say I’ve ever heard a name quite like Calviniqua or seen hair quite like her mom’s. I hate to hear about 4 year olds committing suicide.

The top eight’s performance is just aw’ight for me. Wrong song choice. And I don’t really like choirs. Why is Kristy holding the mic so far to the side? I won’t critique their outfits, since they’re wearing all wearing t-shirts for charities.

I have no idea who Dane Cook is. Alicia Keys seems to have morals and keep a wholesome image compared a lot of singers. She’s really pretty too, and those cornrows are pretty amazing. Cute little kid dancing.

Miley Cyrus is a pretty big deal these days, hence two performances. Not a big fan of the outfit, but the sequined stuff is kind of her style. These people in Kentucky make me sad. Miley’s outfit is pretty dumpy-frumpy.

I thought they were actually going to show the Russian Idol. Quite the shirt. I have a friend who is playing a Russian in a play, and I’m thinking maybe he should watch this for some tips. I think they’re letting him go on too long here. The completely stereotypical comments from the judges: Randy says it was pitchy in places; Paula only compliments the shirt of course, Simon thought it was brilliant.

Tyra Banks needs to get a new hairstyle. I especially don’t like the blonde-ish color.

Speaking of bad hair, David Spades’ isn’t great either. Brad Pitt’s stylist clearly missed the memo that he would be digging and building and stuff. The white shirt was not the greatest idea. Oops, he lost his mic. I thought that was Angelina coming to join him for a minute.

 Chris Daughtry looks like my uncle. He is my favorite Idol. And his wife is really cute.

 Oh, yeah, Randy works with Mariah all the time. Boring outfit. What is she doing with her hands? The high-waisted pants are still not the right ones for me. The rhinestoned mic is very Sharpay from High School Musical. The choir yet again.

 A lot of Christian themes and stuff this year. Mariah’s song had a bunch of Bible verses, and this is a total worship song. One of my favorites actually. I like the all white outfits. Is Jason wearing a cardigan though? Cardigans on men should be reserved for Mr. Rogers and maybe great-grandfathers.

 They should’ve stopped it with the song. Ben Stiller kind of ruined the moment.

Idol Top 8

I missed the first half of the show, but here are my thoughts on the second half.

Kristy with yet another sparkly tank top. Pretty good song.

David Archuleta should do well with inspirational week.

Paula’s dress is quite pretty, but I’m not sure how she can breath. No wonder nothing she says makes sense: she’s oxygen deprived.

My dad, sound guy, is hollering about all the feedback.

Why is some guy sitting on Simon’s lap? Ew! I don’t care if he hired them, that is so wrong!

Oh good, David Cook. Jacket reminds me of the movie of Much Ado About Nothing, except I don’t like the pockets. I don’t like the falsetto “I’s” It wasn’t great. I agree with Simon. Paula, naturally, doesn’t.

 Paula: You’re so well defined, blah, blah, blah. She made it sound like she was agreeing with Randy, but said something completely opposite.

I think Carly stuck thumb tacks in the collar of the shirt she’s wearing during her interview. More dark colors, and a hideous, slightly pirate-esque outfit. High waisted, but not enough to be sure if it was on purpose. That is one sparkly belt. (My mom says fake wonder woman about the whole outfit.) Her bouncy-walking around the stage is very weird to me. A fairly good dramatic performance. I’m not a big Carly fan. I kind of like the earrings. Is that Orlando bloom in her family and friends?

I like Paula’s earrings. She can’t seem to bring herself to agree with anything negative. That comment on Carly close to criticism though.

Simon complimenting the outfit, interesting. I agree with the slightly angry. She always seems to be lowering her eyebrows when she sings.

David Archuleta had  hard time picking an inspirational song? Must be because he’s already used all of them. Oh, he’s multitalented. Our first display of piano-playing skill from David.This is so boring. Unfortunately the judges like him tonight.

Brooke wins best dressed tonight, of what I saw. I like the eye shadow. The performance wasn’t her best, but it was pretty good. It always helps when I’m familiar with the song. I’m pretty sure it was on one of my old Hallelujah Hop cassettes.

Here are my current rankings:

8. Kristy

7. Syesha

6. David Archuleta

5. Carly

4. Michael

3. Jason

2. Brooke

1. David

Results Show

  I’m writing this as I watch this time, so I hopefully get my first responses.

I like the blue crushed velvet on the “safe” couch, and I think they’re trying to punish the bottom three with those uncomfortable stools. (But they are admittedly cool-looking.)

Michael, safe, duh. David Archuleta, safe, obviously the 10-year-old girls of America are still voting. Carly, safe, no big surprise. Ugly yellow top, but nice to see a brighter color. I’m just not a yellow person. Ryan-that was a stupid question, of course she wants to be on the couch. Maybe he’s still out of it from running into a metal bar before last night’s show.

Question time-another pointless thing to stretch out the results episode to an hour. Go Mary- I agree Simon doesn’t need to apologize.

Lead singer of The Clark Band, why are your shoulders pulled up so close to your neck? You look like a turtle. The head movement is slightly annoying as well. At least they’ll be able to make good bobbleheads of him. But interesting sound, and very entertaining to watch, and unconventional instruments.

Robin McGraw and Paula nice matching orange blouses. I think these were inspired by 70’s stewardesses.

Fun outfits on the girls in the Ford video.

Go Carly talking back about Simon.

David Cook the shirt looks like you’ve been sweating from the elbow down. (My mom’s saying it looks like he dipped his sleeves in a vat of poo. Maybe changing a diaper or something.) Obviously safe.

Ramiele-the outfits continue to get worse. Brown boots, black leggings, a freaky oversized t-shirt, and hey, let’s throw a vest on top, just for the heck of it. Glad she’s in the bottom three. I didn’t catch what her t-shirt said, but the green googled eyes are creepy.

Kristy-show some confidence, girl! Even if you expect to be in the bottom three, don’t bring a note or whatever that was. Please, with that kind of behavior, she deserves to be in the bottom three.

A quick Idol flashback for us. Are they really bringing back Bucky? Phil looks good with a beard. Not so much like an egg. Bo Bice how about a haircut, and are you still wearing the same shirt as that performance on season 4? Cute kid, but already heading down the same bad hair path as his daddy.

Syesha’s hair looks good tonight; I like the shirt, and the red heels. She shouldn’t have been safe. I still have that stupid song stuck in my head. (And I will always love you…)

Good hair again Brooke, (but I think the braid is fake; it doesn’t match) but I’m not digging the big belt, and tucked in shirt. Way to go for defending the violin player.

Simon already going back on not apologizing.

 Jason is kind of dorky. I like the dreads down though.

Can’t believe Brooke’s in the bottom three. That’s so wrong. Ramiele is about 3 feet shorter than everyone else, isn’t she? Kristy Lee needs to get over the sequined tank tops.

Now Simon’s doing some roundabout apology to Carly about his fashion comments last night. I like Randy’s comment about fashion versus singing. Fashion actually should be about 30% if you ask me.

Cute African kids on this Idol Gives Back promo. The separated sisters are sad. I like the name of the city. Addoo-sad-abba (totally guessing at the spelling) or something like that. Oh good, their having a dramatic reunion.

I just have to say, I love the name of Dolly’s album: Backwoods Barbie. Totally suits her. I won’t even comment on her outfit, because I think when you’re Dolly Parton you can wear whatever you want, even if you look like a rhinestone cloud. (Sounds like the name of a My Little Pony.) My mom is saying she should go on a mouthwash commercial, with that natural gargle sound in her voice. Seems to be a Jesus-y theme this week. I think the choir is a bit of a cheesy addition. At least she puts a smile on Simon’s face. And she’s letting him back into Dollywood.

Now that Paula stands up, I can see that she’s also jumped on the high waist bandwagon tonight. Orange and black, not a combination that should be worn, with Halloween being a possible exception.

Good, Brooke is safe. Finally Ramiele is gone! Nothing against her as a person, she seems nice and stuff.

They need to go back to the song that went “You had a bad day.” Reuben Studdard isn’t as good. Quite the picture, with the high heel, and the kicked out leg. Wow, Ramiele is even short next to Dolly.

I just need to mention that Ricky Minor is a great name for a music guy.

Ramiele sounds better tonight than last night. Maybe she should’ve tried crying before every show. Too late now.

Dolly Parton Week

Dolly Parton week was pretty good overall. I don’t know much of Dolly’s music, and country isn't really my thing, but I’m a fan of her as a person. I always appreciate someone that can make fun of themselves. I also love her as Miley’s godmother on Hannah Montana.

Brooke’s best hair style ever. I’ve got to figure out how to do that to mine. Also a good performance. She remains one of my favorites. Not crazy about the high-waisted pants though. I think if you're going to wear them, you may as well go all the way, and make a dramatic, "I'm wearing high-waisted pants!" sort of a statement, or they just look like an accident.

David Cook great as always. Not much more to say.

Ramiele: bizarre song choice. Her voice didn’t come over the music, the dancing was stupid. Once again a hideous high-waisted outfit. Maybe some outfits with color sometime.

 Not Jason’s best performance, but not bad. I think he was wearing a woman’s shirt, and I still would like to see something different with the hair. The half pullback is girly.

 Carly, get out of the dark colors girl! The black satin is getting old. A boring performance. As Simon would say, “Forgettable.”

 Yet another inspiring, uplifting song from David. And of course he has such a glorious aura about him; (thank you, Paula for these wonderful words) it makes up for his boring performance. Personally in my bottom three this week, but he’s not going anywhere anytime soon.

 Kristy Lee-way to go on the dress and bare feet. Always love the hair. Kristy gets best dressed this week. One of her better performances, country is definitely her style, but still in my bottom three.

 Syesha should’ve kept it simple not brought in the band so much at the end. Also not my style of song. The dress made me think of ketchup and mustard. Maybe she could go sing for Oscar Meyer. Also in the bottom three. Simon’s comments on Syesha were about the only ones I agreed with last night.

 Michael Johns’s best performance ever. The first time I will remember one of his performances. Keeping it to just he piano and guitar was a good choice.

 Simon is clearly too British to like country music. Paula continues to babble about things that don’t make any sense, and if she only comments on your outfit, you know you sucked. Also, could she get the hair out of her face. Randy’s vocabulary seems to be limited to “Check it out!” and “Good looking out” these days. You can also tell by the end of the show that the producers are telling everyone to wrap it up, because Ryan starts talking like he’s just had about 8 lattes.

 Best outfit: Kristy

Worst outfit: Syesha or Ramiele. It might be a tie.

Best performance: David Cook or Michael

Worst performance: Ramiele

Best hair: Brooke

Most confusing comment: Paula

Fastest talker: Ryan

Bottom three: Syesha, Ramiele, Kristy. Ramiele is going home.

My thoughts on American Idol this week

Worst outfit: Tie between Ramiele and Paula.

Best Outfit: There really wasn’t one. I guess maybe Kristy’s shirt. Maybe she missed the “let’s only wear drab black and gray this week” memo.

Best performance: David Cook

Bottom three: Ramiele, Chikezie, and Syesha. Ramiele will be going home.

What was Paula wearing? She should fire her stylist. I just imagine what she’d say: “You shine like all the colors and textures of the universe. You are truly a star. Your voice has all the tones of a rainbow…” Somewhere around here she would lose her train of thought, and, well, you can see why her lucky stylist still has a job. Actually, I’m quite sure that she and Ramiele share a stylist. The high waisted, wide on the leg shorts not only make your butt look taller, but they also make it wider. As for her singing, she’s got a nice voice, but how about performing a little bit, moving around the on the stage or something.

The Jonas Brothers had better watch out, they may have some competition on their hands with David Archuleta. He should go for a Disney Channel career. Every ten-year-old girl in America has got to have a crush on him, and that’s probably the only reason he’s still on the show. If American Idol has become a popularity contest, as Simon has suggested, David will win, hands down.

It was probably Michael’s best performance so far. For once I remember what he sang the next day. I’m still mixing him up with Luke, who left weeks ago. My advice for Michael: stop singing and just talk for your minute and a half. Carly could  do the same, although she’s growing on me, and I thought she was pretty good last night. (By the way, what happened to her adorable curly hair?)

Brooke, David Cook, and Jason have my top three spots. It was not Brooke’s best performance last night though. I didn’t like the black dress, or the straight haired look, but at least her bangs weren’t in her eyes. Personality wise, she’s probably my favorite contestant. Jason hasn’t been as good the last few weeks either. I agreed with some of what the judges said. He can be just a little too laid back, and he needs to try something different. And also if I were him, I wouldn’t mention that I should practice more. I’d also like to see him perform with his hair down, instead of that girly style they usually have it in. David was amazing. And so much better than the Michael Jackson original. If it was up to me, he’d win right now.

Kristy picked the perfect song, but it was still not half as good as some of the other performers. Unfortunately, it was good enough to keep her in another week. Cute shirt though.

I liked Syesha at first, like Hollywood week, but since the top 24 she’s been consistently boring.

I’m undecided on Chikezie. He’s had a couple great weeks, and couple awful weeks.

The whole judges-and-Ryan bickering thing is getting so old. It was funny at first, but now it’s just plain annoying. And audience, could you please stop booing Simon and let him talk! He’s almost always right. You pretty much have to ignore Paula, because not a word she says makes sense, and she loves everyone. And Randy, well, I think he was having an off night last night.
